Trustmarque appoints new CEO

Software licensing specialist Trustmarque
Solutions has appointed Scott Haddow as its new CEO and charged him with boosting its bottom
line and improving profitability at the Yorkshire-based Microsoft partner.

Haddow replaces Ross Miller who relinquished the helm last November, and joins Trustmarque from
IT training solutions provider New Horizons. He has also done time with Computacenter, where he led
the firm's Scottish operation for eight years.

"Trustmarque has been a strong performer in the last year but no company can afford to stands
still, especially in today's economic climate. My task will be to think about how Trustmarque can
improve and develop its services in order to deliver more value to its customers," Haddow said.

Miller departed amidst rumours that he had fallen out with Trustmarque's venture capital
backers, who had decided the LAR was not making fast enough returns. However, the firm's 2008
results to the end of August, posted in November, showed a 12% growth in pre-tax profits to
£4.68m.

This week, IndependenceIT unveiled the 4.0 version of Cloud Workspace Suite, which features a number of enhancements; Knowledge Vault launched a partner program for its cloud-based analytics-as-a-service platform; and more.
